Gonzalo Lebrija’s work is mainly focused on the study of time and the subjective experience that we have of it. Using video and photography as recording systems, the artist uses time as raw material to capture ephemeral moments, while trying to stretch the distance between the past and the future in order to investigate the concept of destiny and chaos in a succession of events. During an important part of his career, he has worked on events and traditions inside his geographical context, on a par with the social structures that these imply.
Recent solo exhibitions and projects include: Miracle of the Eternal Present, Palm Springs Art Museum, (Palm Springs 2022); La suerte de detener el tiempo, Centro Cultural Juan Beckmann (Tequila, Mexico, 2022); Breve historia del tiempo, Museo Jumex (Mexico City, 2021); Piales (la suerte de detener el tiempo), Travesía Cuatro (Madrid, Spain, 2019); Cathedral, curated by Humberto Moro, SCAD Museum in Savannah, (Georgia, US, 2019); Vía Láctea, Museo Tamayo (Mexico City, 2018) and Palacio de Bellas Artes (La Habana, Cuba, 2016); Mariachi Wagner, Moody Performance Hall (Dallas, US, 2018); Unfolded Paintings, Travesía Cuatro (Guadalajara, Mexico, 2017); Unfolded, Museo de Arte de Zapopan (Guadalajara, Mexico, 2015); Who knows where the time goes, Faggionato (London, UK, 2014); Possibility of Disaster, Centro de las Artes de Monterrey (Monterrey, Mexico, 2014); R75/ Toaster, Multimedia Art Museum (Moscow, 2013); Deriva Especular, Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City, 2011).
